You have done your
research and shortlisted a few NY storage units to keep your
belongings. Even though the storage facilities claim to offer the
best storage options, you need to be careful as you are storing your
precious belongings there. A tour of the storage facility will help
you decide whether you should commit your belongings there or not.
Here are a few observations that you need to make when inspecting a
self storage unit –

Check out the
building and see if it is properly fenced to keep the intruders
away.

Check the lawns for
any overgrowth or unkempt.

Observe who have
access to the facility and the basic procedure of entering through
the main gate.

See if the storage
facility is properly lit and there are no dim or unlit patches.

When touring the
facility, check the basic levels of cleanliness in the floors,
passages and elevators.

It is always
recommended to tour the neighborhood to see what type of houses and
buildings are there. This will give you a fair idea about selecting
the storage facility.

Also observe the
guards and if they frequently leave their post to roam here and
there.

Check the
surveillance cameras and other security devices if they actually
work or not.

The safety of your
belongings is the first concern before committing your belongings to
a storage facility. Remember these points and ensure the safety of
your belongings.
